Faced with a new scenario in which there are not many applicants in most of the calls, some of the responses of plant leaders, with more than 30 years in the market and that entered when the jobs were still being searched for in the newspaper, are usually the following:
- “How can it be that the employer brand does not attract them”
- “We should have more than 100 people interested in this position who meet the exclusions and the desirables”
However, this does not happen.
